I had a wonderful time at this Museum District local gem with a friend of mine. First of all this spot is super Richmond. It has a local feel and is incredibly cozy. It's a tinier space so feels very intimate. Our waitress was extremely kind. They also have great happy hour deals. You can find both food and drink deals. On my visit I ordered the wings with smoky barbeque, a side of broccoli, and a mini mac. The wings were so juicy and tasty. I wish they had a bit more of a crunch on the outside, but they were still so good. The sauce was great. I really loved the way they prepared their broccoli. I devoured the mac and cheese. I can be picky with homemade mac and cheese, and really enjoyed this one. If you're looking for a casual and yummy spot for food, I highly recommend visiting The Franklin Inn.

This place wasn’t too bad. I went for brunch and was sitting near the kitchen and noticed that both cooks weren’t wearing any gloves or hair nets. They were cross contaminating other orders, touching the walls, their clothes and everyone’s food! Please be more cautious handling people’s food it is gross and dangerous for people with allergies.

I lived near here in 2018, and this was my watering hole back then. I came back while I was in town in 2023, and it feels just as great as it was. Friendly staff, great drinks, and cozy atmosphere. This is an awesome neighborhood bar if you live nearby. Don't think about it, just go and see for yourself!

Cute place, good food and attentive server. Off the beaten path but the day's aimless wandering brought us here for a late lunch. Ended with a strawberry chocolate layer cake. Wonderful!As with all things Richmond...parking is challenging!

Great brunch on a quiet city street patio. The Franklin Mess was tasty, but a bit too greasy. The bloody mary was delicious. Our server was great. Will be back!
Fantastic food. Whoever is doing the cooking knows their stuff! Also a nice neighborhood vibe. Great ambiance too.

Was there this past Saturday, wait a great little neighbour's resturant/bar. Great selection of beers(craft included), and wine. Bourbon for days!!! Lol. But the best part for me was they had this tiny little kitchen but the food that left it was amazing to look at and listening to the guests down right good! If you have not been there ,please try it out

One of the best burgers and happy hour deals in Richmond, VA. Plenty of happy faces, good drinks, and the Wednesday happy hour burger deal always hits the spot. Highly recommend this little establishment for anyone visiting Richmond or locals looking for a new favorite haunt.
